I bought a gas forge from Dan and it’s just awesome! I bought a two segments with two burners and two doors. It heats up very fast. It runs calmly (not a big roar) unless you run it at max. The outside doesn’t become extremely hot. It’s well insulated, I have the version without K-wool but with the fire resistant bricks. This is good no unhealthy K-wool fibers and the bricks are very easy to shape. The forge is very versatile. I can also use it half by putting some bricks halfway and run it with one burner. It’s really not comparable with cheap forges you see around. This is a sturdy, robust, durable, well insulated, well built and designed forge. I’m very happy with it and can recommend this to every blacksmith! Thank you Dan!
Dan, I'm in the USA and would very much be interested in getting one of these forges! At the very least, I want to get one or maybe two of the burners! Thanks so much for your videos and the projects you do! This DOES look like and EPIC forge!
Awesome forge! For the door, have considered having one that runs on a track sideways? That way if the track was sloped the door would be self closing.
Can't wait for the forge building principles videos! I've been playing with a design for a double burner setup, and I would love to challenge my own drawings with proper knowledge.
smart stuff mate. any time I heated stuff up in the past, I used oxygen acetylene. as you'll know you have to keep moving the torch around to heat it up equally. looks like it should take off 👍
Nice design. I will be interested in your forge building principles videos. I am interested in burner to forge volume considerations and anything on fuel efficiency design. Also fuel flow and restriction considerations. Well all info really haha.😁 I love all that stuff on how things work well or don't so much. Thanks Dan, great video.
Looks like a great concept to sell as a kit Dan’, particularly as one with different options of inclusions (ie with or without burners, refractory etc). I wonder if there’d be interest in a slightly smaller one as well? I built a gas forge of a slightly larger volume than yours, built from an old gas bottle and using two of the Gameco burners and with the ability to block it off part way along to reduce the volume and close off one burner. It works well like that but I ended up building a much smaller one with one burner for small tasks and I’m finding that I use that quite a bit for small simple tasks.
I agree, i built a tiny gas forge (would not fit a fist but the cavity is quite long) a while ago. The thing burns something like a pound of gas an hour at most using an old plumbing torch on an 11kg bottle which lasts for months when forging once a week as a hobby. I love that thing. SO useful for making gardening knives, chisels, punches, nails, rivets and all that stuff...
Looks toasty! Let me know when you're offering the kits for these and how much they're gonna be please. Ordered a brand new anvil from UKS the other month (hopefully it arrives this month! Can't wait :D), so kinda skint right now, but definitely would be keen to get a better forge than my crappy home made one as soon as I am able to :) Cheers! Iron Haggis
Hi Dan Thanks for another great video! That is a very nice looking forge you have built. Unfortunately in Perth Australia we dont have access to the same range of refractory or other forge building products at anything like a reasonable price. So we are left to cobble together what we can. Subsequently Im really looking forward to future videos covering your thoughts and ideas on forge building so that I can steal them. Maybe then I will finish up with a forge that isn't always in need of an upgrade. Thanks again mate for the inspirations and demonstrations that you put out.
Hi there. Also from WA , Fremantle. Have you tried kiln lining - check out "The Potter's Mart" in O'Connor. Or Mathews Industries Osborne Park. Good utubes by "lucky gen 101
@@stephentero3077 Thanks for the info. I have looked at all these sources in the past but most of the products they supply are targeted at pottery kilns that operate at lower temps than blacksmiths forges. Im still looking for a mad scientist who produces good quality high temp refractory that lends itself to DIY. FYI have a look at Clicksprings videos. He did one on a furnace build about a week ago and he referenced some Australian products if your interested. Thanks again.
I might be interested in a kit, but that would depend on pricing (shipped) along with estimated gas usage/hour. Could you cover that information in an upcoming video?
Cost needs a little more planning but this is a well built forged designed with mid market value so I doubt it will be like a cheap forge but I want it to be cheaper than a top end. Kits will also be cheaper cause your doing the expensive bit. I also have a flat rate for shipping. I can give gas usage when the door is sorted. Ill keep you posted.
Nice build. Why not use refractory all the way around instead of using kao wool? I've worked with all of this in the molten metal industry and know that know kao wool will burn out quicker and it stays in the air and is not good for the lungs.
So you can but longer bars in. Your not going to heat the whole bar but I find it super hand when I need to forge out stock. There is a plug for it to so it's not always open.
Well fabricated forge, you do nice work. Nevertheless, IMHO, it's way overbuilt. A forge built from an old propane bottle is every bit as efficient, and much easier to construct. If you want an even more efficient design, use a single-line blown ribbon burner angled tangent to the radius of your cylinder. This creates a swirl flame which burns much longer within the chamber, imparting more heat to the forge.

I ordered one of these forges in December 2021. I have not received anything yet and I don't think that Daniel intends to send me anything at this point. He has ignored many of my emails asking for updates. I do not recommend giving your money to Daniel, there is a good chance you won't receive anything.

Looking forward to the kit. I would consider buying one. (depending on the price ofcourse).
Awesome forge build Dan! Thanks and God Bless you sir!
Thanks, you too!
Would love to see a forge building series.

Awesome video like all the rest of them. Thanks for sharing all your hard work and knowledge with us. Cheers!
Amazing build, maybe if you could go over what regularator you use and maybe what to look out for?
Very nice. Beautiful forge setup.
Thank you very much!
Wonderful video and concept!
Thank you
Awesome forge! For the door, have considered having one that runs on a track sideways? That way if the track was sloped the door would be self closing.
The forge series sounds good mate, would like to see the insulation part of the roof especially as it is curved.

I'm just going of some basic I have picked up along the way won't be any thing special. I'm pleased you enjoyed the video.
Awesome build Dan I laughed hard at the start it was brilliant dude. This is an awesome forge build mate. Thanks heaps for the shout out.
Thanks for the burner dude hope people say hello.
smart stuff mate. any time I heated stuff up in the past, I used oxygen acetylene. as you'll know you have to keep moving the torch around to heat it up equally. looks like it should take off 👍
Love the forge! Can’t wait to see this door! And the heat treatment oven conversion is going to be awesome!
That forge is sweet!! I really need to get back into some blacksmithing projects as I think that my forge is getting lonely 😕 Great video, thanks 👍👍👍👍

Excellent setup. Looks great and I hope you have fun with it. Very similar to mine. I actually wish I had the capability for coal also. Cheers.

Just wondering why you are not opting for a ribbon burner?.

Not not open. thank you for the comment.

Hi Dan after watching this again what temperature rated insulation did you use
Nice build. Why not use refractory all the way around instead of using kao wool? I've worked with all of this in the molten metal industry and know that know kao wool will burn out quicker and it stays in the air and is not good for the lungs.

looks sweet! can you forge weld with it?
I should think so. I doubt mild but most mid to high carbon steels I would hope so
Do you have a pdf of the plans available?
Sorry not going to do that. If you want to buy laser cuts I'm happy to sell them.
What psi are you running?
Between 3-4 bar you do the maths.
1bar is about 14psi.
Why the small opening at the back of the forge?
So you can but longer bars in. Your not going to heat the whole bar but I find it super hand when I need to forge out stock. There is a plug for it to so it's not always open.
